Abstract
We present the first observation of absorption quenching in a semiconductor quantum well by electrical control of the carrier density. We have observed this novel effect at room temperature in a single modulation-doped InGaAs quantum well which was used as the conducting channel of a field effect transistor (FET). The effect is extremely large and we have used it for direct optical determination of the state of the FET.
